2025 Update: This paint started flaking off after about 5 years. I don’t think I used the correct primer, and I should have spend more time scuffing and cleaning the surface of the valve cover. Here’s my second attempt.
There’s not much to explain for this mod. I used Black VHT Wrinkle Paint, which forms heat-resistant wrinkled finish (à la Ferrari valve covers).
I made a mistake with the painter’s tape. I used it to prevent scratching off the paint when I exposed the lettering, but it stuck to the paint too well.
A few more layers of paint easily covered my mistake, especially because of the textured finish. It is hard to get the paint the correct thickness for the wrinkle affect, but I found it looked good as long as the paint thickness was consistent. I did a few test pieces, including the FM master cylinder bracket.
